I'm using Spree and in the products/search controller action it uses Ransack. The Spree documentation says that Spree provides no way to customize page size, so I thought I'd customize the action itself to use Ransack to turn off pagination entirely. Does Ransack support a way to either not paginate results or to at least make the pagination huge?
This is the code in the existing controller action:
@products = product_scope.ransack(params[:q]).result.page(params[:page])
When I puts the type of @products after that, it is ActiveRecord::Relation. When I puts of
@products = product_scope.ransack(params[:q]).result
it is also ActiveRecord::Relation but in the first case there's a method 'total_count' used in the rabl template that is not present in the second one. I have dug through the source for ransack and I can't find where the .page is defined. I'm wondering if perhaps it's included in some class_eval of ActiveRecord::Relation in one of the gems that Spree pulls in.
Someone somewhere has to have faced this problem and come up with a solution. I'm hoping against hope to find that person :P

The .page method comes from the Kaminari gem, and not Ransack.
You can make the pagination "huge" by changing the default per_page value in Kaminari:
Kaminari.config.default_per_page = 1000
